View Full Version : Should some global compatibility options be on a per plugin basis?

There are some options designed as workarounds for plugin compatibility (which I am grateful for), but sometimes it feels like I'm making global functionality sacrifices for the sake of a single plugin.

For example: 'Bypass audio while opening plug-in config window'

I would really prefer to have this off, but because ONE plugin requires it to work (Altiverb), I need to have it on.

Another example is 'Anticipative FX processing'. I need to have this option on otherwise the audio on my dual core starts crapping out around 50% CPU usage, but it also says this option should be "disabled for use with UAD plugins" which I use. A tough choice.

Basically I think that if there are options designed for compatibility with certain plugins, those options should ONLY apply to the troublesome plugins.

One solution I can think of would be to have these options in the right-click context menu for each plugin in the FX browser.

Just a thought, now back to making music... :)
